How long can I drive before I change my timing belt?

Can I find if the timing belt has already been replaced by previous owners?

I hope anyone could help me out with these questions.

 

I'd imagine both answers lie in the glove compartment. If not, the previous owner screwed you.

 

Timing belt interval depends on the model. Also, you can have the belt inspected. Plus, if you plan on driving the car for any amount of time just replace it so you have a starting point to go by.

 

Usally a good ruel of thumb is 90k miles. The way i would check is look at the waterpump from behind the block. there is a little peice of it sticking out. If the aluminum is shinnier than the block then chances are the t-belt was replaced with it. Also look at the drive belts. They should say honda on them if they are original. But they still may have been changed but not the t-belt so thats not a solid sign

 

The also may have changed the belt but not the water pump.

 

if you dont know when and if it was changed, get it changed, it costs a whole lot more to snap a belt and pay for a new motor then it does to just give u peace of mind!
To find out, you could check the service history and call the dealer who serviced it previously, Maybe they kept records of what was done!
